INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BASKETBALL - 18” SETBACK
7
B-Ball-18-IM Rev. 2/12 (WS-BK B BALL18)
STEP SIX: Place an escutcheon on each deck pole bottom, ensuring that the escutcheon is oriented correctly.
Insert a deck anchor into the bottom of each deck pole bottom. Orient deck anchors in poles (as shown in
Fig. 26) so the single deck flange hole is facing toward the pool and the other 2 holes in the deck flange are
facing away from the pool.
Pass the 1/4” x 2-1/4” bolt through the holes using a flat washer on each side of the post and hand tighten
the nut.
STEP SEVEN: With 2 people, carefully stand the basketball assembly upright and in position on the deck.
(See Fig. 27) None of the fasteners are tight at this point, so the assembly will have some flexibility. Make sure
the set back from pool edge is 18” and the distance between poles is 16” on center. Mark the 3 flange hole
locations for each pole. Move the assembly and using a 3/8” masonry bit, drill each hole 2” deep. Clean out
each hole to allow wedge anchors to fully recess the full 2”. Use 3/8” wedge anchors supplied in kit WS-DM.
(See Fig. 28)
STEP EIGHT: Tighten all other hardware at this time except the rim spring T bolt and nut. Place black caps
on top of each support pole.
STEP NINE: Adjust rim tension by turning the special nut tightener on the T bolt. The adjustment range will
be from bolt flush with top of nut (most tension) to bolt about 3/8” short of top of nut (least tension).
